sur sergey gerasimov to play the starring role of the young builder of communism in the film komsomolsk , then the aspiring actor could not even imagine that this particular role would break his whole life. the harbinger of all these misadventures was the trip on the moscow-vladivostok train to shoot the film komsomolsk, which took place in khabarovsk , the military asha asked to visit them. and they struck up a casual conversation. in particular. he met a white stepanovich, a sociable fellow traveler turned out to be an american only in the nineties years to make george zhonov. the neck was removed. top secret. this is the first question stepanovich , apparently under pressure, admitted that he was on espionage missions. however, at the next

interrogations. he refused all these false intoxications. many years later, one of his colleagues, a young actor, would recognize the johns, but until the end of his life, georgy stepanych would never pronounce the name of the person who doomed him to many years of hard labor. suspicion of espionage. at that time, it actually meant a death sentence the decision was made. here are the triplets, of course, she did not invite there, not the parties, not the defendant himself as a lawyer. there was a whole assembly line of people comparing the stepanovich case with other cases. it can say no different such cases here. 1,000 a few nights after the arrest of the burnt one, they will be kept in a transit prison on shpalernaya street ; they will write this to them many years later, there is a

magic house on shpalernaya street, you will leave it as a child. and you will come out an old man, and we are talking, as i understand it, now that's it, in these gate. this house and this one belonged to the nkvd system. i was the 605th person who was arrested in leningrad that night, when this is the entry book to the prison of a large house. filled up. when i was registered, i drew the attention of 65 people that day. ahead of george burnt will be waiting for 17 years of camps. severe kolyma and the polar risk he would seem to have no chance to survive. everything from the first

moment. how was it taken away? how did he go through the stage or went in stages? he talked about where to survive you can’t even survive on the way there, as the generals, the honored heroes, went crazy. we have goosebumps . his spirit was exceptional, she allowed him to relate to this whole experience of convict terrible with irony, a family friend, director, documentary filmmaker, alexei pishulin, shortly before the death of the actor, interviewed him, in which zhenov recalled the most terrible pages of his past. when he was asked for herpes stepanovich

how did you manage to live for so many years after this terrible camp experience. he spoke so meat on frost does not deteriorate in this frost. he spent 17 years. reaching in the language of the camp, that is, being one step away from death, and every time some kind of miracle happened in his fate, which saved him from physical death. since childhood, fate has not spoiled the burnt deep joyful in my life. i don't really remember, but in the fifteenth year i was born the imperialist war, the february revolution. the october revolution, followed by a civil war followed by military communists. st. petersburg corner of the tenth line

vasilyevsky island and bolshoi prospekt the house where georgy zhzhenov was born and grew up for the daughter of georgy stepanovich marina zhzhenova and his grandson peter, this house is a living history of their family everyone ran, right there, in the yards in this whole parish house, everyone , of course, knew each other and everything sat. here, on all these steps, you could go naughty at any time completely home. an actor who played aristocrats and generals on the screen and stage was born in a peasant family i look at my work, first of all, as work that i love even without whom i can’t exist at all and i

don’t give a damn about wealth, his parents maria fedorovna and stepan filippovich moved to st. petersburg in 1910, soon george was born, he became the sixth child. in a big family. a few years later, two more children will appear. ah. being a drinker, he tried to raise his hand against maria a, the children had already stood up for their mother, and he was already speaking through his teeth, and the serpent mother defended culture and etiquette and the correct relationship between parents as a result formed a very enterprising very active character. room a guy who is used to answering for himself in such a way, but to stand up for others a desperate guy from a large

family grew up according to the laws of the streets and was not afraid of anything, there was such a story that, seeking the attention of a school beauty, the little ones. she decided to check it out. she told him, well, take a dip, they say, i will pay attention to you. one must imagine what the autumn water of the neva is, but being a strong guy, he bought up. at the age of 15, zhenov chooses a profession suitable for himself and decides to become an acrobat. this is the hypnosis of these burning lamps on a 13-meter circle illuminated by the fabulously sacred, we are some unreal dexterous brave people who god knows

what they are doing. this is what led me to the circus school, they accepted me only from the age of 16. george did not want to wait a year and entered according to the documents of his older brother. boris's adventurous plan worked according to these documents, and then there was nothing to be done. and he already said. well, what now? after a year of study, the young athleticism of the wives breaks a standing ovation in the arena of the leningrad circus, but after the first year he understands that tricks under the dome are not for him, for me, the circus has already become, but such a primitive art, when the most beautiful acrobat, let's say, is a man who works miracles. at the arena , krestik left krestik and he was an illiterate person. that's where it came to me, i wanted

some kind of correspondence. more than such an intellectual pursuit appeared in the cinema. a sixteen-year-old guy is allowed to transfer to the acting course of the famous director sergei gerasimov why i am not an artist because i liked to figure it out personal act? yes, today i am that tomorrow i am not the other. i always wanted to be the same good, fair, most courageous person. so it's impossible to stay dead and take off. the first soviet film catastrophe crew was released in 1979 and became a real shock for the whole country, no one expected it to be a success. i

didn't expect it myself. moreover, i did not expect that she would live long. the popularity of the picture was largely due to the excellent acting ensemble and, above all, georgy zhonov, who played the role of crew commander. the same pilot for the crew is a person behind whom fate stands, and we may not even need to know in detail. what is the fate of this hero, but what is this person, responsible for his every word, able to make decisions in any situation. you believe it, unconditionally, the passenger is worried about some breathing, there is even nothing and the cold in the cabin. what should i do? what to do what to do? boy? that's what look for us a coffee. yes director of the film alexander meta did not conduct a screen test for the role of the crew commander timchenko from the very beginning, he

saw in front of him only georgy zhonov. the simple thing is click. she told him the sequence of the channel pokatikha. and then she, as an actor, fantasizes anything, anything a wonderful actor could justify , you know, if you had to walk the ceiling, otherwise we would believe that the chef should do it, looking at the cold-blooded pilot performed by the wife, the audience believed this is the ideal of a man of few words resolute self-confident was handsome, but any man could be the envy of this male to become male power. it's just masculine charm. that's when it appears on the screen and you say, that's a man.

he looks like an artist to me. yes, he was such a man who possessed such qualities that i really appreciate men. he was on his own. he was focused ekaterina vasilyeva played the wife of the protagonist in the crew and their tandem with his wife turned out to be so successful that after the filming was over, georgy stepanovich offered vasilyeva to become his wife again. now in theater. i have no other wife but you. i am a latitude type child. i’m very interested, but i can’t imagine, after the crew, the kind of anyone with whom i know how interesting it was for me at all, and well, it was very nice to hear it, but i still refused. he was already terribly upset, the on-screen family from burnt and vasilyeva looked almost perfect. the soviet spectators could not resist the charisma of the actor under the charm of the burnt even hollywood. this is a film of the

sixty-first year planet of storms, filmed film studio lennouchfilm. against large meteorites , we are still powerless. and this is him, but now zhenova's hero speaks english. the americans were so impressed with the pictures with the participation of the burned man that they illegally re-edited the film and released it under the name. journey to a prehistoric planet there was every chance of becoming a movie star at the dawn of his career, but in thirty- six, a threat looms over his family, brother. boris

did not go to the funeral of sergei mironov uh, saying, uh, to the university, well, i don’t have shoes, but kirov it won't help. already the refusal of boris from the burnt to go to the farewell ceremony was regarded as a betrayal. well, he was just a student who didn’t go, fuck, sergey mironovich kirov’s funeral just didn’t want to sympathize with himself with the free choice of deprivation to go. he remained as he was until the end of his days boris received a prison sentence, and the wife's family, fleeing repression, went to kazakhstan georgy categorically refused to leave leningrad 2 years later he would have to pay dearly for this decision. produced in the case

the investigation established that in september 1937 zhenov was recruited by an employee of the american embassy in moscow to carry out espionage work in favor of the united states. 5 years in the camps, such a sentence was announced to zhzhenov after a year of being in the crosses. many years later, georgy stepanovich will be surprised at an unexpected turn of fate, he , sentenced to a catarrh for espionage, will be given the role of a spy for intelligence officer mikhail tuva, he is my mother and father, they are illegal scouts by the way he worked on the screen. they say he's more similar to our profession than other images that create. tina epic about the resident

was filmed for 18 years. during this time, the hero of zhonov, mikhail tuliev, becomes the standard, the scout. a big reward, some kind of person comes up to you and says, i wanted to say, because after the president’s mistake, i went into intelligence. a lot of people a lot of people went. no, i'm not, maybe we'll go. for eleanor checker fate in the series about the resident became a film debut at the first screen test in her life, the theater actress worked with john, he says, venya give it to me, please, put it to me for 15 minutes, says, well, tell me about yourself. i tell there something beer coffee. you hear yourself , i say, of course, what are you yelling. what are you saying? is this a theater for you and when did he leave the

site? he said, venya if this actress is repeated to him , i will not go out on the site. well, of course, you have approved me for this role and since then. in general, in my life i consider my godfather to be my godfather, having appeared on the set, my wives, immediately subordinated the entire film crew to my charm. on set with he was easy to work with. he left easily. he had a certain view of the role, the scripts, the interpretation. let him see, i was so passionate about him as an actor and in love that when i had a scene when he leaves money in a bag and puts it in her purse and she finds it and runs out of the taxi park, he leaves and she screams after her. i screamed three takes, zhenov. 30 years before the

star role of a spy, zhzhyonov is serving a prison sentence on a real charge of espionage. and does not even hope to work again in the movie train forwarding endless wheels again, forwarding again. banya shmon, we traveled the train for 2.5 months to vladivostok from st. petersburg. so, from vladivostok to magadan, prisoners are transported on an old steamer, wives could die on the way to hard labor, an epidemic broke out on board. dysentery started, we were not given water to drink. and then people filled the hold with water. quail dirt all infections, there and so on and overboard overboard were not counted. in the bay of nagaev,

many of mine were thrown overboard by several hundred people, only after 70 years georgy zhenov. again i saw the same steamship sailing, on which i could not survive, it was called jurma, when we saw the rusty island of jorma sticking out of the water. called the already. ah, a surge of incredible enthusiasm. let's rust, honey. i'm still tinkering a little. in a labor camp in magadan, a 23-year-old theater student is surrounded by criminals. zhenov quickly learns to survive in a hostile world and makes himself respected. i wasn't a bully but how can i say maybe i survived made me treat myself like a muddy fraer. there is such. clearly muddy fraer. that is, you

need to think before contacting, because he can throw out unexpectedly. georgy zhzhonov works at the gold mines, frosts reach -50, hungry, prisoners die by the thousands of wives , his acrobatic training remains alive. it greatly contributed to his survival in the camp, because, of course, intelligent stooped people with suitcases who went with him at the same stage, they died, and this young uh, evil circus athlete. he, to the delight of all of us, was able to get out of this meat grinder alive and not only alive, but to endure all the baggage that made any of his roles a charged role. southern ukraine separately eastern

ukraine 11 central ukraine one western internet very different cultures all the connections that we had in the west, that volyn golitsy transcarpathian pen slovak hungarian territory. they were all annexed to ukraine ukraine zation of non-ukrainian regions of ukraine this is the whole village of ukraine these territories. they are historically never belonged even hypothetically to ukraine in the cities the ratio is 45. and 17.5 45 is russian 17.5. and these are ukrainians. we now understand that the transfer of crimea is a mistake now. but then, in general, they did not attach any importance to the project ukraine history with geography

. it seemed like a deadline. the conclusion has expired, it would be possible to go free, however, the war prevented this from being done, so in the forty- third year he is introduced to what will happen stay in the camp until the end of the war. zhzhyonov doesn’t even know how many years of hard labor is waiting for him ahead, and at that moment something happens that can be called a real miracle. the head of the camp says to the imprisoned actors, yes, it's hot, wives, the director of the theater says, and you can look at him, says urka, terrible with

lips eaten by scurvy in a cap, pushed back on the back of his head and felt boots, from which knives protruded, because at that moment his wife worked at a bread slicer and walked around the zone with knives sticking out from behind the tops. this guy read chekhov's joke we are going down the mountain. and so i whisper so that it can be heard, as if under the wind. i love even nadenka. the reaction of the director of the magadan theater, there is pressure. unexpectedly, he starts wildly, sobbing. he starts to burst into tears and wave. go away, go away, i can’t take it anymore, and the wife returns to his bread slicer for a while, and the theater director starts a complex combination that allows his wife to be in the magadan theater and thus escape from inevitable death, all the experience gained. even the scariest zhzhonov will later use it when working on roles. he did not have a chance to take part in the battles of the great

patriotic war. but the image he created of the general disson, in the hot snow. you believe at first sight, endlessly, like fire, like water, you can look and look and look nothing special here are the eyes incredibly frost people are dying there, and you are helpless remember that they are also people no, i don’t remember, i don’t have the right, yuri nazarov played the artilleryman ukhanov , who in the final picture is awarded the order by general bessonov with everything i can. all that i can personally both ordinate. here, as expected, sit down, brother, sit down kombat sit down. give me a bowler hat for the fact that our germans already damned madun came out for the victory of the

artillerymen near stalingrad filmed frost in the novosibirsk region, up to forty, seven, two paleo horses we had there as we waited for the command to fire, so that this cartridge case would fly out to warm itself about it frost, it was terribly freezing, you know, the fire flies out, warmed up about this sleeve, it’s hot, well, lukewarm flies out the picture will be watched by 23 million, the audience is the brightest hero of the film, general bessonov , whose wives played he was always worthy of his movie heroes. you see, he never dropped their honor and dignity. he was such a major titkov in life. arrest me, and like a tribunal of cowards, do it to me. fabulous he said. there is

no doubt that the camp saved me from death in the war. i am absolutely sure that in the war i would died among the first, because he said zhenov. it was never natural for me to care about my own survival. i would never tremble over my own skin, the only, objective one. the reason for leaving the position can only be one death. in the forty-sixth, in exile in magadan, zhenov is forced to take care not only of his own survival , new love appears in his life. in the theater where he was transferred from the mines, the actor meets a woman with whom he falls in love at first sight? here he met, uh, his second human wife vladimirovna vorontsova. she was repressed as a japanese spy, they got married and had a baby. uh, the first daughter of yurgiy stepanovich alena my older

sister, but the couple did not live long for a year. hmm, after which they broke up? they were set up in camps. lidia vorontsova was sent to kazakhstan by georgy zhonov. deep into siberia their one-year-old daughter was torn away from her parents, the girl remained, uh, practically. uh, in english, her grandmother left his orphanage and, uh, this is also a very bitter page of our family. alena zhzhenova will live with her grandmother in the baltics georgy stepanovich will be able to see his daughter only many years later, then alena came to leningrad and always kept in touch with her dad when she grew up. alena will see her father less and less in real life and more and more often on the screen. after breaking up with

lydia's second wife, vorontsov's son from his wife seems to be doomed to live alone. he is awaiting a new arrest and a new term. having been released in march 1945, georgy stepanovich will stay at liberty for only 4 years. he would say everything left released. here again, on the basis of the foregoing, he is again accused, norilsk a city built by the hands of gulag prisoners. the polar night lasts 45 days, and winter is 8 months a year. here, in the life of the burnt one, an unexpected meeting will take place, which will again change his fate. this is a meeting with my mother, irochka makhova, a freelance hired actress at the rizhsky flight theater, which takes place, uh, in 1950. have you come across this by any chance? met where? well, it was a long time ago

. marina, the daughter of georgy and irina, first ended up in the arctic in norilsk, the city where her parents met. i'm completely different i imagined this actor's hostel, which is mentioned in my mother's diaries, which was just such a place where all the artists of the norilsk theater lived and, uh, freely hired and strongly settled settlers marina carefully keeps mother's diaries on these pages irina and georgy's love story which never had a happy ending. georgy stepanovich offered to take me along the corridor and went into my room to say good night. and he began to say that he really

likes me, but i was silent, smiling bitterly. he stopped near me and said, i understand, irina, why do you need to tie yourself up? i'm a strong muzzle. for an aspiring actress, a connection with prisoners could put an end to not only her career if they got married. eh, there my mother would have lost all civil rights in the same way and would have remained a strong settler next to him. irina risked her own fate in order to be close to her beloved man. so they joined in this happy union, which lasted about 10 years. here are five norilsk years and, uh, wives in leningrad in norilsk acquires and close friend inokenty smoktunovsky was here in voluntary exile.
